Took awhile, but glad this was pointed out. To Fly's point though, better to be on the good side for the wrong reasons I guess.
But at the end of the day, this is simply politicians gonna politician.

On a more theoretical note, let's think about how you might design a voting system if you were starting a new society today. Would having some sort of check on who voted be a criteria? Would an ID be a very simple way of handling that?
Like others itt have pointed out, you need ID to do a lot of things, most of them less important than voting (as far as most people are concerned). Something about that seems off to me.
